What a fun cooking contest! I loved seeing the variety of recipes everyone prepared - some delicious, some maybe not so delicious, and all with a history behind them! Here's my commentary while going through the entries XD

Janalee - I'm glad you got to try out your fun fish mold The dish looks so fun, and cream cheese, avocado, and pear actually sounds like an interesting combination!

Yildun - Aw, it's great you were able to get some assistance in the kitchen! My husband is the same way, he can more or less cook but never really does XD I looooove these cookies, I've made a variation before - so yummy! And no worries about the confirmation image, the username really just needs to be in one of the photos

silvermoondragon - Root beer jello sounds.. intriguing O_O That sounds tasty! And I'm sorry, but I laughed when I heard that it scared off the parrot XD If it's 'fruit flavors,' I wonder if it was originally prunes or something?!

Seren - This is going to sound really silly, but I always thought Wiener Schnitzel was something to do with, well, hot dogs XD; But this all sounds and looks delicious!

Echos - Another interesting avocado combination! I'm not sure you can go wrong with anything in a graham cracker pie crust, right? XD And I love your brother's reaction shots, what a sport XD

RikkuGirl - Hah, I never ended up doing my ‘entry' but I was totally going to go with salmon and cream of celery soup over biscuits XD Great minds think alike! But, ah, sorry it wasn't entirely to your taste ;D

CosmicDragon - I'm going through the entries while Mr Sushi is playing XBox and just yelled "AHHH! These ones are called 'lamingtons!' That's adorable!" and now he thinks I'm a lunatic XD So, if it's any consolation, you got to introduce us to an Australian classic and they sound and look really delicious? XD;

SilverDapples - Mmm, that does sound kind of like a Snickers! Sorry they weren't to your taste, I might

Orasteele - Wow, those are really cool! Like a waffle bowl, but.. totally different XD I'm going to have to give them a try!

And now, the results! A big thank you to Mr Sushi for helping with the judging, I needed the help!
Congrats, everyone Janalee is first up with the prize pot!

As for the participation prizes, I'll be adding the modiems to everyone's inventories in the next day or two.. but what's this? The secret mystery prize? It looks, er, delicious! The Green Gelatin Dessert is a tradeable item worth 4 points
Thanks so much for your participation, everyone! What a fun cooking contest

Yeah, to me cooking feels kind of overwhelming, I guess. Which is silly, since I can obviously do it as long as I follow the instructions. I get anxious over nothing, but then sometimes knowing the terminology can make a huge difference and it's still no fun to inadvertently ruin something. It was a fun contest though! I'm glad I entered (also I ended up eating most of the cookies myself. While I would have preferred sharing more of them with my family, that's not a downside in my opinion.)

Also, Lamingtons do sound super adorable, although it reminds me of Disgaea... And I think, based on concept alone, the root beer float pie was my favorite.

Congrats to everyone! XD

Eeeee! I knew I loved that fish mold for a reason! Hehe, and I have to say, I love that Green Gelatin Dessert item too! I suspect I have more than a few Sams who'd rather eat it than use it in a trade... *dances ecstatically while holding it safely out of reach...and not particularly caring if that makes her even more ridiculous than normal* XP

Could I have the Rare Custom token, and Pursuer of Bygone Skies? As much as I adore Notch's markings, I just can't resist that clubbed tail. Thanks so, so much Sushi (and Mr. Sushi!), and congrats to the other winners!

AHA! My sister's terrifying facial expressions have granted me luck! XD She will be oh-so-glad to hear this... and I am so incredibly delighted! I haven't had a foal in ages! *snuggles breeding token* I'll need to think this over.... Thank you so so much! ^___^

And no, not quite. XD Wiener actually comes from "Vienna", which is where this particular style of Schnitzel originates from. :3

CONGRATS WINNERS!! Hopefully next time I will have some time to do it. ^_^ time time time i know right we all looking for it but it is here all the .....time! LOL had too he hee ^_^

Now that Janalee has chosen, random has decided that Echos will go next

I'll be updating certs and adding items tonight, would do it during nap time but it'll be Frankensam time today!

I had been considering making the gelatin an item where it would make any foals from a breeding it was used on be entirely, or mostly, shades of green, but I figure there's already a lot of one-use items out there and not enough breedings XD;

@Yildun - If you're interested in trying out more cooking, slow cooker recipes are a great place to start! With most of them you just put everything in the slow cooker, turn it out, and then make sure you'll be around to turn it off when it's done XD

Wonderfully done everyone. I couldn't decide on a particular recipe and as I'd already won Question, I decided to sit this out. Congrats, all!

Such a hard choice but I'm going to have to take Blood. Dunkleosteus was my favorite in my fossil class <3

Congrats you guys!!

OMG yay!! Notch is mine then? *squeals* I am so happy. Thanks sushi, congrats everyone else!! That was a lot of fun!

o.o salmon... biscuits... idk, i bet thats way more scruptuous lol xD

Congrats everyone, what a fun event I loved seeing everyone's recipes!

Items have been added and certs updated

I've been away for a week, but a big belated CONGRATS to you all! I shall be stalking these prehistoric beauties, oyes.

Hehe, glad I could give you guys a giggle~ I wasn't sure what Disgaea was, so I looked it up and find it so cute that there's a character with that name! I never thought they'd be so tricky, we go and get these massive ones from the bakery all the time... So I thought it would be simple, heh. But they tasted great, and were gone way too quickly! ^-^
